Batches of an LED light that have been sold at Bunnings over the past three years are being urgently recalled.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) warns that the light’s LED components could overheat causing the housing to distort, melt or ignite. “The product may ignite and catch on fire causing serious injuries, death or property damage,” it says. “Consumers should immediately stop using the light fitting.”
The two affected batches of the Lagos 90w LED Slim Batten 1200mm Linear Lighting Fixture from Brilliant Lighting were sold at Bunnings Warehouse from December 2019 to 23 September 2022.
The lights are 7500 Lumens and 240V AC.
There are several identifying features of affected batches, including the model number and specifications.
A sticker on the back of affected units will show batch numbers VR2821 and VR3821, as well as the model number 21001/05.
The ACCC says: “If the product is connected by a plug, remove it and return the product to the nearest Bunnings Store for a refund.
“If the product is hardwired and requires an electrician to remove it, contact Brilliant Lighting to make arrangements for a service call to remove and replace the product with a similar fixture or to provide a refund.”
You can contact Brilliant Lighting from Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, or via email at [email protected].
